Airbus has signed an HCare Initial contract, a comprehensive By-the-Hour services contract, with Heligo Charter Pvt. Ltd for six Airbus H145 helicopters deployed for offshore and onshore operations in India.
The deal was announced at the Wings India 2024. Under this five-year contract, Heligo will benefit from Airbus’ HCare Initial programme, which will give the operator the freedom to replace scheduled and unscheduled components within 24 hours and pay a fixed rate per hour for the helicopter flown. HCare is Airbus Helicopters’ comprehensive services offer, providing superior customer service support in five domains: material management; helicopter maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and upgrades; technical support; training & flight operations and connected services. This will help Heligo to bring down their maintenance costs and the need to keep a regular inventory, thereby providing them with enhanced fleet availability, as per a report.
